Rhonéa - Notre Dame des Vignes, AOC Côtes du Rhône Villages Visan, Rosé, 2023

RHONÉA, as the name suggests, is the trusted choice for Rhône Valley wines. Our Artisans winegrowers & winemakers have been committed since 1925 to bring you the best from our vineyards & let you taste more than just wine, but the quality & authenticity of our terroirs.

2023 was a year full of contrasts: warm temperatures at the end of December and beginning of January raised concerns about early budding; a return to normalcy continued until February with relatively cool weather; a persistent drought accompanied by a strong Mistral wind, followed by regular rainfall until the end of June. Thanks to constant vigilance in the vineyards, the berries were healthy and well-ripened when harvest started, promising one of the finest vintages of the past decade.

Stony soil dating from the Miocene a sandy marls from the Pliocene at 200/300m high.

Bleeding method winemaking: the grapes are pressed as soon as they arrive in the tank. After a short maceration and upon achieving a beautiful rosy hue, the juices are separated from the skins to complete their fermentation at a controlled temperature (14-16°C). This process gives a "gastronomic" rosé with a deep color, complex aromas and a richer structure than a rosé made by direct pressing, while still retaining the characteristic freshness of a rosé wine."
